AP college football poll: Oct. 4
NEW YORK (AP) — Rejuvenated Auburn jumped into the AP Top 25 for the first time this season, landing at No. 17 after improving to 5-0 under new coach Gene Chizik.
One week after a bunch of upsets gave The Associated Press poll a serious shake-up, a relatively predictable weekend provided some stability — though several teams outside the top 10 lost, dropped out of the rankings and made room for newcomers like Auburn at No. 17.
The top four in the media poll were unchanged. Florida is No. 1, followed by Texas, Alabama and LSU. The Gators play at LSU on Saturday.
In the ACC, Virginia Tech moved up a spot to No. 5. Miami moved up six spots to No. 11 after beating Oklahoma, which fell 11 spots to No. 19 after losing 21-20. Georgia Tech is No. 22.
